Friday Favorites Feature ::Weekend Bloggy Reading::

I'm wishing you a happy day because Friday is pretty much the same as any other day around here (except there's no church and nothing good on TV....is it sad that I judge a good day by what my DVR will be recording?)

If you're look for some good reading this weekend, here's a list of some of my favorite posts from around Blogland this week:

~I'm in love with this new (to me) site: How Does She? The tagline reads "Uniting Inspirational Women Sharing Inspirational Ideas." Sounds good to me!

~Rachel from Perfectly Imperfect gave her readers some great tips for using the FlyLady system. I enjoyed reading how Rachel created a housekeeping routine for herself, and if I can get over being called a "flybaby" I might just see if I can tweak some of these ideas for myself.

~Richella shared a wonderful tutorial for anyone who's interested in trying their hand at Upholstered Headboards.

Not much planned on the homefront this weekend. Natalie's little friend A is coming over this morning, and A's mom will stay to have coffee with me. I love playdates like that! I'd love to do a little thrifting on Saturday morning...I am on the hunt for a buffet to make over. Wish me luck!

I agree Friday is kind of a nothing day, but what I like is I can do whatever I want. I think I will visit some of these blogs. I am already familiar with Morning T, she is a love but the others I have not visited, Have a great Friday and a lovely weekend,Kathysue

Couldn't agree w/ you more as to how swoon worthy Kate's kitchen is. Hope you have a great weekend. I've been out of commission for the last 2 1/2 weeks so I'll be resting this weekend & hopefully catching up on some Dvr myself :-).

Amanda! Thank you so much for the linky love! I appreciate it so much. I mean, REALLY appreciate it. I really like your feature posts--what catches your eye always turns out to be something that I want to see, too. So for something of mine to be on that list. . . yippee!!

I got both headboards done and made new coverlets for the foots of the beds. And I still have a good bit of that green fabric left over. I'm afraid I went a little wild at the fabric store--I love this fabric, and I knew it would be GONE really quickly. So now I get to think about what else I can do with it. :)

you're so sweet! thanks for including a link to my blog- now i have to write something worth reading, though. : )i love these other ladies you've linked to- i may steal that window idea for a little project i'm thinking about!have a great weekend-rachel

I'm attempting to make a cake for my friend this weekend. She's an expert baker, so I hope mine will be up to snuff. A bunch of us are playing tennis Saturday night and I'm going to surprise her with the cake after we play. I spend over $20 on the ingredients...it had better be good!

Love your post and can't wait to read your suggestions. Watching Sense and Sensibility tonight while the boys all sleep outside underneath a pine tree (we have three feet of snow!) and then tomorrow I'm attempting a slipcover on a chair/ottoman I found on CL.

I am passing on the Kreativ Blogger award to you! Cause I think you rock!! Check it out here:http://www.thecountrychiccottage.net/2010/02/friday-night-fun-kreative-blogger-award.htmlAnd be sure to pass it on to 7 others!Angie

This is Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom of three kids, a fluffy Pomeranian, and a rambunctious German Shepherd puppy. Happily married to T. We live in Virginia, but I secretly dream of what it would be like to have a place in NYC to escape to for random girls' shopping weekends. Target is my home away from home. I stay sane by doing creative projects around my home and taking lots of pictures. Stick around for realistic inspiration...on a budget!
